What is the meaning of life? Why do I feel unfulfilled and unhappy? How can I successfully build a joyous, meaningful life? The Essence of Living examines these questions through three stories that serve as metaphors leading to a simple, life-altering truth: Joy and meaning are achieved by living a different story than we were taught. Living in our spiritual amnesia, we forgot where we came from and lost faith in the worthiness of our lives. The Essence of Living helps us question ideas that lead us to lives of struggle, and replace them with approaches that bring joy and meaning. Robert A. Giacalone, Ph.D. is the Daniels Distinguished Chair in Business Ethics at the University of Denver. He is the author/editor of nine books in business psychology, spirituality, and ethics. His work has been cited in a variety of sources, including the Christian Science Monitor, Time, Los Angeles Times, National Public Radio, and U.S. News and World Report. He is the former Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Management, Spirituality, and Religion, and the author of the blog, The Essence of Living (www.happinessisessential.com).

Courtney Carver shows us the power of simplicity to improve our health, build more meaningful relationships, and relieve stress in our professional and personal lives. We are often on a quest for more—we give in to pressure every day to work more, own more, and do more. For Carver, this constant striving had to come to a stop when she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Stress was like gasoline on the fire of symptoms, and it became clear that she needed to root out the physical and psychological clutter that were the source of her debt and discontent. In this book, she shows us how to pursue practical minimalism so we can create more with less—more space, more time, and even more love. Carver invites us to look at the big picture, discover what's most important to us, and reclaim lightness and ease by getting rid of all the excess things.
